Filter by:For patients suffering of osteoarthritis, only analgesic treatments such as anti-inflammatory drugs and cortisone infiltrations provide significant but temporary relief of their pain. The objective is to compare the analgesic effect of 2 infiltrations: Cingal (sodium hyaluronate and triamcinolone) versus cortisone (triamcinolone). It is anticipated that the Cingal infiltration will have a greater analgesic effect than a simple cortisone infiltration in patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the shoulder. Method: - Randomized controlled trial - Monocentric - Randomization will be done using sealed envelopes
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide and it is common in an aging population. Surgical shoulder replacement (arthroplasty) is typically considered when non-surgical measures, such as physiotherapy or medication, have failed. There are two commonly performed surgical replacement procedures in patients who have advanced shoulder OA, and are 65 years of age and older: "Total Shoulder replacement or Arthroplasty (TSA)" and "Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (RTSA)". Few studies have compared the two procedures. Surgeons face uncertainty regarding which procedure to perform in patients 65 years of age and older. This pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) will compare the "TSA" and "RTSA" procedures, in patients 65 years of age and older. Participants will be assigned at random, (like flipping a coin), to one of the two groups (TSA or RTSA). The overall goal of this pilot study is to determine which procedure produces better functional and quality of life outcomes with fewer complications within the first 12-months after surgery. Moreover, pilot data will help determining the feasibility of conducting a larger trial comparing TSA versus RTSA surgical management in 65 years of age and older participants with advanced shoulder OA.
The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of various corticosteroids administered to the shoulder, knee and hip joints in diabetic patients on resultant blood glucose readings.
The objectives of this study are to confirm the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Arthroplasty Systems and its instrumentation in primary or revision shoulder arthroplasty. These objectives will be assessed using standard scoring systems, radiographic evidence, and adverse event records. Safety of the system will be assessed by monitoring the frequency an incidence of adverse events.
Researchers want to find out more about the side effects of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) and what doses of BMAC are safe for people.
Degenerative diseases and traumatic injuries of the shoulder joint, lead to dysfunction of the arm. Arthroplasty has recently become an increasingly popular operation for severe damage to the shoulder joint. In clinical practice, the most effective operation today is the reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA), after the installation of which the pain syndrome disappears in patients and a satisfactory range of motion in the shoulder joint resumes. With the increasing use of reverse shoulder arthroplasty and its expanding indications, surgeons today are facing tougher reconstructive challenges while still providing the patient with a good clinical outcome. The damaged joint presents a problem for the surgeon during component positioning. Implants must place the in a location and orientation that optimizes range of motion and stability while minimizing impingement. In order to address this, surgeons can look to the use of 3D imaging in order to better understand each patient's pathology. All patients are performed computed tomography scans (CT) of the shoulder joint. Then, were reconstructed 3D model. To determine the position of the components is mounted a scapular plane was created based on 3 points on the 3D reconstructed scapula: center of the glenoid fossa, most medial point on the spinal border of the scapula, and most distal point on the inferior angle of the scapula. The investigators use a scapular plane for to determine the optimal angles of inclination of the reverse baseplate. Then the position and direction of the pilot pin is determined. The position of the fixing screws and their length are also calculated. A resection line is planned for the humerus. Preoperative virtual templating can be used to translate the preoperative plan into the operating suite in the form of patient specific instrumentation (PSI) and intraoperative navigation. PSI to reference the local anatomy in order to place the guide pin in the desired location, version, and inclination based on the preoperative plan. After surgery, all patients undergo a CT scan of the shoulder joint. These data are compared with CT scan of patients operated on according to the standard method. The range of motion is also assessed and compared.
The aim of the study is to compare the level of postoperative pain after fitting the Game Ready splint, at 48 hours versus that observed with fitting a standard splint
The objective of this study is to analyse the positioning of the scapula in standing position and compared to the supine position (CT scan) in 3 dimensions (3 rotations of the scapula) using a non-radiant, portable system, combining an ultrasound probe with marker and a camera integrated into a Tablet for the three-dimensional location of the marker (probe).
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has been successful in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy, proximal humerus fractures, failed primary total shoulder arthroplasty or failed hemiarthroplasty, and massive irreparable rotator cuff tear. Patients who undergo an RTSA report pain relief and functional range of motion. It has been more than 20 years since the advent of the RTSA construct but an immediate post-operative rehabilitation with active shoulder range of motion has not been prospectively studied in comparison to the traditional post-operative rehabilitation highlighted by Boudreau et al.12 Investigators plan to prospectively follow our patients following RTSA undergoing an immediate active shoulder rehabilitation (IASR) vs traditional rehabilitation in a randomized controlled fashion. Investigators plan to document clinical outcomes, complications and cost effectiveness out to 1 year. The study will hopefully fulfill the Triple Aim model for HealthPartners by improving the health of the population, improve the experience of each individual, and make healthcare affordable by decreasing the total cost of care.
A new infusion strategy named the 'programmed intermittent bolus' (PIB) technique delivers the hourly dose within minutes compared to the traditional infusion that delivers such dose over an hour. The PIB technique has demonstrated superior patient satisfaction and reduced local anesthetic consumption when utilized for pain control during labour and delivery. However, it is not known if the PIB technique gives any benefits during a continuous nerve block in other settings. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to elucidate if PIB is better than (traditional) continuous infusion for postoperative analgesia in patients receiving a continuous nerve block for total shoulder arthroplasty with respect to pain control.
